The Wardrobe Malfunction That Would Not Die!

February 23, 2006 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Can you believe this shit is still going on?

WASHINGTON – Federal regulators will stick by their decision to slap CBS with a $550,000 fine for the Janet Jackson flash at the 2004 Super Bowl.

But that’s not all!

They also plan new sanctions against Fox, NBC and CBS TV stations or affiliates for violating decency standards, according to people familiar with the matter.

The two sources, who declined to be identified ahead of a public announcement, said one of the decisions involves an appearance by Nicole Richie on the 2003 Billboard Music Awards on Fox. During the broadcast, she uttered the “F” word and the expletive for excrement.

2003 for God’s sake!

You’d almost think the FCC wasn’t in the midst of a potential multi-billion dollar screwup of the HDTV roll-out.
